This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited on our site, time and date of your visit, and the duration of your session. We do not collect personal information such as your name, postal address, or payment details unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or email correspondence.
How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes: to deliver and maintain the website and its content; to analyse how visitors use the site so we can improve the structure, content, and performance of our greyhound fixtures guide and related articles; to monitor site traffic and detect technical issues; and to comply with legal obligations where applicable. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Analytics and Third-Party Services
This website may use third-party analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our content. These services may set cookies on your device to collect anonymised usage data such as page views, session duration, and geographic region. The analytics data is processed in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual visitors. For more information about the cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the UK GDPR, we process your data on the following legal bases: legitimate interest, where processing is necessary to operate and improve the website; consent, where you have given explicit permission for specific processing activities such as accepting non-essential cookies; and legal obligation, where we are required to retain or disclose data under UK law.
Data Retention
We retain analytics and server log data for a maximum of 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted. If you contact us directly and provide personal information, we retain that data only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterward in case of follow-up, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you; to request correction of inaccurate data; to request deletion of your data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing; to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances; to object to processing based on legitimate interest; and to data portability where applicable. To exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the details provided on this website. We will respond to your request within one calendar month.
International Data Transfers
Some third-party services we use, including analytics providers and content delivery networks, may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), to protect your data to UK GDPR standards.
